Looking for friends first, co-writers second, bandmates third.
My ideal project has male and female co-vocals, multi-part harmonies, counterpoint lyrics, deeeeep bass frequencies, wall of sound layering, innovative instrumentation, and ever-evolving creative.
Keys, sax, bass, synth, guitar(s), live and programmed drums.

.
bring it on.
Turn-offs include distractedness / outside over-commitment, manipulative or selfish behaviors, drama, flakiness, dishonesty, alcoholism and / or hard drug use (social drinking, 420 and the occasional trip totally cool; opiates and pills not welcome; cokeheads and tweakers can go ahead and fuck right off).
Turn-ons include dedication to craft, an excellent sense of humor, unreserved laughter, smiling, actual friendship, genius songwriting, professionalism, serious musicianship, team players, desire to record AND tour, and the drive and perseverance to live the artist's life through any ups and downs.
Sound like you? Sound like fun? Sound like the life you want to live?
Then let's create our sound.
Hit me up.
